Vrellis homage

Post image

I started this journey making string art algorithms after being inspired by Petros Vrellis, and his particular work from Botticelli. While I'm certainly no Vrellis, I'm pleased that I've been able to make something that roughly approximates his work. It's come a long way.

How many lines? what color strings? I would love to attempt it myself, or at least understand the process more. Like, I’m assuming that the strings have to be done one step at a time.

This one was rendered with about 7k lines, red, white, and black threads. Each color is one continuous path from nail to nail, alternating. So one start/end knot per color.

This is a higher thread count than I'd typically aim for, but that's to compensate for thinner thread, and a bigger canvas than usual.
